Manufacturing Engineer Adaptive Machining
The High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce. The facility will enable a halving of the lead-time for the design & make of turbine components; develop novel techniques to enable future design styles and manufacturing systems and accelerate cost reduction & casting yield improvement activities. This is a chance to work within a co-located design and manufacturing engineering team within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide range of research engineers from the relevant academic fields. Working in partnership with Consilium Recruit they are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer. You will conduct research and improvement activities related to the design and manufacture of turbine components. The HTRC is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for investment casting, machining, and advanced metrology of single crystal components.
Benefits: The MTC leads the way with a superb suite of benefits including; private health insurance with Vitality Health, a highly competitive pension scheme, 33 days holiday (including public holidays), income protection in the event of long term incapacity, and life insurance.
The Role
You will work within our co-located design and manufacturing engineering teams within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide range of researchers from the relevant academic fields.
Manufacturing engineers are responsible for the method of manufacture that delivers component requirements and support both process engineering and project delivery tasks. This role has a focus on CNC Milling with probing cycles.
Process engineers are primarily accountable for the equipment and process methods used within the HTRC, they drive best practice and continuous improvement into their process area whilst acting as a central point for knowledge management and communication across the HTRC and externally with suppliers, customers and partners.
Project Engineers understand customer requirements and translate them through consultation into a method of manufacture managing the associated technical package. They create, manage, and deliver the project using planning, risk management and cost tools whilst effectively managing key stakeholder expectations.
The Person
The successful candidate for Manufacturing Engineer will be experienced and qualified in the following areas:
1. Degree qualified or demonstrate equivalent technical capability based on practical knowledge and experience
2. Have sound understanding of manufacturing engineering and component engineering principles
3. Ideally demonstrate technical knowledge of turbine components and/or process knowledge associated with investment casting and/or machining of turbine components
4. Have experience with some of the following: CNC Milling, machining of metallic and ceramic materials
5. Be equipped with a strong functional skill set (problem solving, programme management, change control, risk management and budgetary control)
Equality, diversity, and inclusion are integral to everything that we do. We are committed to these values and they are central to our mission. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and we are more than happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require.
